Danbury police searching for two car-theft suspects

DANBURY — Police are searching for two men in connection with three car thefts and a series of car break-ins across Danbury early Friday morning.

Investigators have been provided still photographs of the two suspects from an apparent security camera in the area but have not yet identified the men and an investigation is ongoing, Danbury Police said Friday afternoon.

The stolen vehicles were unlocked with their keys left inside and several unlocked cars were rummaged through, according to investigators.

The incidents happened along Hillandale and East Gate roads north of Danbury High School, on Westville Avenue and near downtown on Town Hill Avenue.

Anyone with information please call the Danbury Police Department at 203-797-4662 or the Confidential Tips Line at 203-790-TIPS.

The investigation follows a regionwide series of car break-ins and thefts across Roxbury, Southbury and Danbury over the past week that have police begging residents to lock their vehicles.

Danbury Police Chief Patrick Ridenhour said earlier this week that agencies have been working together to combat the recent spate of incidents.

“In general, we’ve been advising people to be diligent and make sure their vehicles are locked,” he said. “It’s really about limiting the opportunities.”
